I can't believe it's almost been a month since that post came out! It seemed like a couple of weeks ago.
I KNOW!!!
It seems a short time, but to tell you the truth, I realize it's about a month simply because my upset has cooled down so much. It affected me for about a week and a half at least.
I certainly prefer if someone votes on something that their small rewards be counted to the author rather than going back to the rewards pool.
Absolutely. We're not upvoting for the value to go to anything or anyone or anywhere else than the author we upvote.
I'm truly hoping our wonderful Witnesses will all vote the silly rounding down rule out of existence, @glenalbrethsen. ;)
Right, @SirCork, @danielsaori, @TimCliff, et al? ;)
That would be interesting to see if they could actually vote it down. I mean, I understand they can make recommendations, but anyway, might be parsing words. What I understand about the dust vote is, if all the dust votes were calculated, it would be an unnecessary computational load on the blockchain. I don't know what that means, as in to what degree. I don't know what's favorable, or what's not. I don't even know if it's an issue.
However, if it is, it's only going to become a bigger issue if the masses do ever show up here. We've got more small fish than ever before, and the amounts will only grow from here if/when HF 20 drops.
So, it would be cool to know just what can be done about the dust vote and whether it will be done. :)
